+1 I've used it for years, it works great. Their new formula is designed for etanol blended fuel, depending on the grade of fuel I'm using, can find, I use between 1/3 to 1/2 of recommended dosage. Alot of HD dealers carry it, & I know J&P carries it. The old formula came in a little squirt bottle, I have a couple of those left & just refill them from the 6oz bottle. The bottle says 1oz for 5gal for increase of 5-10 points octane.

If you aren't pinging you most likely don't need it. What's your comp ratio?

Evidently your bike is stock & you're always able to find decent gas, if your bikes pinging & you don't do something about it, you spend a lot more money replacing your pistons than the 10-15 cents per gallon it costs for octane boost. I agree that the sh*t you buy at Wallyworld is just about worthless, but a good quality booster can save your engine on hot days or when good premium fuel is unavailable.
